Board and council press for RDA transparency after audit flags
Summary
During the joint meeting, council members and district representatives raised concerns about RDA disclosure and audit findings, asked to be at the table for future RDA decisions and noted Vineyard contributes roughly 60% of RDA revenue.
Council members and Timpanogos board members discussed the city's role as a major contributor to the Vineyard RDA and raised questions prompted by an audit and by a recent law change that limited Alpine School District's notification requirements. Speakers said Vineyard is the largest RDA contributor and requested continued access to financial records and participation in decisions over new RDA projects.
"There was a law passed about 3 years ago that removed ASD from having to be notified of what was happening in the RDA," one council member said during the meeting, citing audit findings and arguing for more transparent reporting to major funders. Board members said they would like the city at the table for future RDA decisions and the board's audit review group planned next steps to share information with Vineyard city leaders.
